Washington is mourning the late Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia for the second day with a funeral mass attended by thousands, including Vice President Joe Biden, presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, and the remaining eight justices.
One of Scalia’s nine children, the Reverend Paul Scalia, led the procession on Saturday at the nation’s largest Roman Catholic church, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
With a capacity for 3,500 people, the church was filled to the brim as mourners wiped away tears and laughed along with the Reverend’s highly personal tribute to his dad.
